  1. 5 Reasons Why Wood Is The Greenest Furniture Choice

  2. Wood Is Renewable First of all, wood is the most environmentally friendly raw material. It’s renewable. In fact, wood is the only building material made from sun, rain, and carbon from the air. It’s infinitely replenishable and renewable. That’s amazing when you think about it. Wood is a raw material that grows and replenishes itself every year. A lot of folks wonder if it’s environmental to cut down trees.

  3. Wood Is Good For The Climate Wood products are healthy for our climate and prevent climate change. First, trees absorb carbon throughout their life. They take it out of atmosphere and store it in their trunks as they grow. But it doesn’t end there.When trees are turned into wood products they continue to store that carbon. By using solid hardwood furniture, we are preventing climate change and the greenhouse effect.

  4. Wood Means Zero Waste Bi-products from every stage of the production process can be reused and repurposed. When wood is harvested, a percentage of it is processed into lumber, some of it is converted into other wood products, and still more of it is recovered for energy production. But none of it goes to waste.

  5. Wood Is Durable And Lasts A Long Time Relative to it’s weight, wood is the strongest building material on the planet. It’s extremely resilient and requires little maintenance. Unlike plastic laminate, wood laminate, and other engineered woods, wood can have multiple lifetimes through refinishing.

  6. Wood Scores High On Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) When considering sustainable furniture for your residence hall, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a key consideration. LCA is a “holistic, scientific approach that considers the resources consumed and the emissions released during a product’s manufacture, use, and disposal.” And according to LCA studies, compared to non-wood products, wood consistently comes out on top. The one ‘trouble spot’ for wood, when it comes to LCA, is the spike in energy required for the kiln drying and treating process.
